About Zignature Dog Food

Learning From Nature

Zignature took all of nature's best ingredients and added key nutrients to create a dog food with complete nutrition. In these Physiologically Tuned formulas, meat always comes first, and they've eliminated common allergy-inducing proteins and fillers that are hard to digest. These grain- and gluten-free recipes feature premium proteins, low glycemic carb sources and a limited number of ingredients. It's exactly what your pup should be eating—nothing more, and nothing less.

Meat-First Philosophy

The first ingredient in any list is the most important, because it tells you what the majority of the food is made of. Some commercial pet foods take the easy way out with high-starch carbs near the top of the list. In each of Zignature's dry foods, meat not only comes first, but also second. A quality animal protein source starts off the recipe, followed by a meat or fish meal for an extra helping of the amino acids your pet needs and the flavor he craves.

Recipe for a Happy Tummy

All of Zignature's formulas are free of the most common canine allergen—chicken. And that includes chicken eggs, meal and by-products. As hypoallergenic foods, both wet and dry formulas also avoid the usual sources of stomach upset, including gluten, grains, corn, wheat, soy and dairy. Zignature never uses binding agents that are full of simple carbs and starches; instead, these recipes have low glycemic legumes that deliver extra protein and fiber.

Simple Is Best

Zignature isn't just the diet nature intended—it's even better. They've improved on nature's recipe to give your pup the right amount of each nutrient, and they've done it with the fewest possible ingredients. Just like meals in the wild, these recipes are limited in content for easy digestion and less chance of food sensitivities. These limited ingredient diets have single protein sources, so they're easy to rotate to give your dog a taste of something new.

Only the Best Ingredients

To create these nourishing dishes, Zignature gathered the best possible ingredients from trusted sources around the world. Trout, salmon and whitefish all come from the Pacific waters of the Northwest; turkey is raised in the Midwest; duck comes from farms in Western France; kangaroo is brought over from Australia; and venison and lamb are delivered from New Zealand farmlands. Healthy fruits and veggies are harvested from several North American farms based on the season.

About Zignature

Zignature pet food takes its cue from nature, and then fills in the nutritional gaps for meals that are Physiologically Tuned to help your pup thrive. It's made in kitchens in Minnesota and South Dakota with the help of nutritionists and food scientists to ensure complete and balanced nutrition. Ingredients are responsibly sourced and selected not just for their health benefits and nutritional value, but also because they have the smallest environmental impact. All of this adds up to formulas that are great for dogs and good for the planet, too.

Had to switch from Zignature Duck to Zignature Z ZZz due to Beau's difficulty with previous. I like Zignature bc Beau has allergies. His ears would get smelly and gunky. He constantly licked his paws and chewed on them and scratched incessantly. The dry food has 33% protein and high Omega 3/6. This has 11%. I add this with the dry. Very pleased.

Needed something to transition my pug and this is it. Started off with the canned and we've moved on to the kibble. I can see chunks of veggies which is great and my puggie loves this. Perfect for pups who have allergies to chicken.

My precious two-year old Bulladore, Bentley suddenly developed an allergy to most brands of dog food. He started itching/scratching frequently and so I started reading about 'limited ingredients' dog food (both kibbles and canned) and Zignature receives an excellent rating, as it only has three ingredients and the rest of the composition is vitamins and minerals. There are no fillers, corn, wheat, soy, or other allergens that dogs can develop an allergy to (itching, scratching dry skin and coat). Low and behold, after 3 weeks of feeding Bentley Zignature, his itching has been greatly reduced!!! I mix a little canned food into his kibbles and he loves it!!. It's a little more expensive, but becauseMy precious two-year old Bulladore, Bentley suddenly developed an allergy to most brands of dog food.

Cautiously optimistic

It's only been a week, but so far so good.
I give my dog a few meals a week of wet food because he loves it so much. But the brand we used for years changed formulations and began giving him indigestion.
I've switched to this one and the initial reaction is positive. He scarfs it down and his indigestion problems have disappeared.
I am concerned about the negative reports regarding grain free foods like this one. However as a small dog I feed him twice a day and he gets this wet food three mornings a week, so it's more a treat than the major staple of his diet.
Still, these reports bear watching. Many owners have a tendency to think what's good for them should be good for their dogIt's only been a week, but so far so good.

A 4* rating while we see how he continues to fare with this food and we see how the "grain free" reports pan out.… more
